There are some problems with the other tutor's solution:
  • He provided only one solution. There are literally an infinite number of rectangles whose area is 144 sq. meters: 1 x 144, 2 x 72, 3 x 48, 0.5 x 288, 0.1 x 1440, 1.5 x 96, etc. As long as a rectangle's length times width equals 144, then that rectangle has the right area.
  • Squares are, like he/she said, a kind of rectangle. But most rectangles are not squares. Only the rectangles with 4 equal sides are squares.
